Comment/Acknowledgements:
Sod in J. Bot. 66:17 (1928) and Ann. Hist. Nat. Mus. Natl. Hung. 26:346 (1929) recognized two varieties of Dactylorhiza hatagirea; var. schlaginweitii Sod from Skardu and Ladak. This may represent one of the rather dubious alpine dwarf forms of Dactylorhiza hatagirea, which can hardly be classified, if the general aspect of the entire population is not known. Dactylorhiza hatagirea var.? afghanica Soo. from Kurram-Valley (Aitch. 570), which is nearest to Dactylorhiza umbrosa.
